The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity released a statement on Wednesday morning clarifying that FleishmanHillard was the first PR agency to win a Grand Prix when it was recognized in 2010.

Edelman New York, along with Creative Artists Agency Los Angeles, has won the Grand Prix and a Gold Lion at this year's Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity for its work on Chipotle Mexican Grill's The Scarecrow campaign.

The shortlist for the Cannes PR Lions demonstrates the strength of WPP's Ogilvy and Ogilvy & Mather networks, which claimed 24 out of the 181 entries that made it through to compete for the Grand Prix tomorrow night.

Weber Shandwick's Leila Mountford and Kate Sloan are to head to Cannes to compete in the Young PR Lions competition at the International Festival of Creativity after winning the PRCA-supported UK contest.
